How to lose while distance running

5’8” woman, 138lbs. Down from 150 earlier this fall. I’ve been making great progress towards my goal (125) by eating less and doing HIIT workouts, but I am also a marathon runner, and every time I train for a marathon I gain weight. If I eat the way I do now, when I’m dieting, I feel like I’m dying on long runs. To have the energy to complete them within my time goals, I eat a ton before and when I’m done, I am always tempted to give in to what feels like insatiable hunger. You don’t burn many calories from running, and it takes so long that I rarely have time to supplement with more efficient exercise. I’m about to start training for another race and I have an ambitious time goal. Does anyone have tips on how to continue losing weight while marathon training without sacrificing performance?
